10073. 'And the omentum on the liver' means the more internal, purified good of the natural man. This is clear from the meaning of 'the omentum on the liver' as the more internal good of the external or natural man, dealt with in 10031. The reason why purified good is meant is that the liver is a purifying organ, 10031; and since purified truth is meant by 'the kidneys', 10032, it is also stated in Leviticus 3:4, 10, 15, that the omentum near by the kidneys must be removed.
